Hello,

after update to 3.4 we had a serious issue. Update script completed normally, but after that it was impossible to access the admin settings page at all

The error message was: Ungültige Admin-Einstellungen (auth_ldap/nutzer-admincontext)  [translated: invalid admin settings]

Debug output is added below.

I am not a moodle programmer, but I think the exception is thrown while parsing the admin settings. We had no admin setting in our ldap setup (was it there before at all), so maybe it just mourned the empty string.

A workaround was to comment out the line 1701 in lib/adminlib.php

So far anything works - and i see the setting in the auth/ldap-settings now. But it should be allowed to be empty - and it should definitely be dealed differently with by the update script.

Thanks, Thomas
